If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Spiderman. Hmmm… Mixed thoughts on that one. Very noisy. Fantastic stunts. Great scenes where he’s swinging through the streets of New York from long stringy cobwebs stuck to buildings and cranes. Sure, there was the odd bit of dodgy […]

Even before seven this morning it was hot. As I was walking through Central Park to the gym there was a guy with his shirt off fishing in the lake. By the time I came out the skateboarders were rolling up and down the ramps in their shorts while a council worker was doing his […]

I should have been paying bills today. Ground rent, the AA, station car park, ISDN line, cable TV, broadband, electric bill. Ugh. They are sitting on the desk beside me. Instead, though, I’ve finally formatted the hard drive on my main PC and started again from scratch.
It’s always a scary moment when you finally commmit […]

Bright blue skies. The sun shining down. A freshly mown lawn. Lunch on the patio. I could quite get used to this acting lark. We even started at the very civilised time of 11am.
The studio was one I’d not been to before. We used to record at Zen Studios in Heybridge, but as that has […]

Oh dear. My spam threshold has been reached. I seem to have spent the week replying to every piece of spam, either by phone or email in an attempt to see why people add me to their mailing lists. Well, not all of my spam - I average 300 a week on my personal account, […]

Well, this morning’s breakfast show interview was short and sweet. Probably the shortest interview I’ve ever done. We were through in about two minutes flat, which was quite a challenge as I’d picked a tricky subject this week and had eight pages of notes in front of me. Oh, well - it’s all useful background […]

There was a very eerie silence when I opened the window this morning. No cars. No people. Just birds singing. Clearly England was playing football. It had all the hallmarks of being a good day to travel. And it was, too… more or less. The trains were only half full, and even the tube was […]

Woke up early to glorious weather, and burnt off calories I’d yet to consume at the gym before work. Full of good intentions, I restricted myself to fruit for breakfast, then more this afternoon when I was craving chocolate.
Now I feel ill. Sick, headache. Quite cold. So much for the health kick. I even walked […]

Email of the day:
Hi nik your the greatest.My favourate presenter is Dave and my favourate program is ‘Saved by the bell’. I think there should be a special Nik for comodies
Your most siupporting fan. James
That’s nice.
I’m wondering whether ‘comodies’ means ‘comodes’ or ‘comedies’.
I’m hoping for the latter.
What did I do over the weekend to […]

It started on Saturday morning when I suggested Paul and I went to Bluewater, by way of Ikea so Paul could look for a bookcase. Trevor had taken the evening off work, so we left a message to see what he and Jon were up to that evening, then headed out, rather later than we […]
